If you want to understand Ho Chi Minh City,
2
you don't start with landmarks,
3
you start with where people live.
4
In today's video,
5
I'm gonna take you to three iconic apartments in Ho Chi Minh City to explore a cocktail bar hidden behind a bookshelf,
6
enjoy delicious specialty coffee, shop until you drop,
7
and talk to the architectural artist who's drawn Saigon for over a decade.
8
Right in the heart of the busy city,
9
just steps away from luxury malls and five-star hotels,
10
there's a building most people walk past without noticing.
11
It's 42 Biz Lý Tự Chắc, where old Saigon whispers.
12
Fun fact, if you see the word biz in Vietnam,
13
it doesn't mean best in slot.
14
Even though the real estate price here is one of the most expensive,
15
the word biz comes from French indicating the sub number for a house located between the two main numbers.
16
It's a practical way to manage growing numbers without renumbering the entire block.
17
But number two doesn't mean it's not good.
18
The place is unique.
19
The moment you walk inside,
20
the city noise just drops.
21
This apartment is rustic and cozy with narrow staircases,
22
peeling paint, metal railings, and all doors.
23
Wow, is it a house or a wardrobe?
24
I'm gonna show you my favorite coffee shop in this apartment.
25
It's called Huff.
26
This place is not only known for its cozy,
27
minimal design, cute decor with a sleek brew bar where baristas work with quiet confidence
28
but it's also known for delicious specialty coffee.
29
When you think of Vietnamese coffee,
30
you often think that our coffee is strong,
31
bold and super sweet, right?
32
Well, it's true because most of them are made from Robusta beans.
33
But in today's video, I'm going to show you the coffee that is made from Arabica bean from Quang Chi, Vietnam.
34
Their slogan is coffee is fruit,
35
so it should taste like fruit.
36
And honestly, I love how serious they are about water because water makes up like 98% of your pour over.
37
They even use special burrito filters to keep the TDS around 50 and the pH at 7.5.
38
And fun fact, the owner Hume is actually co-founded a mineral brand just for brewing coffee.
39
It might sound like way too much information for normal people,
40
but for coffee geeks, this is gold.
41
Cheers!
42
Unlike Robusta, the taste is lighter and it has the fruity smell.
43
In here you can smell and taste mango, pineapple, rosemary and guava.
44
It is totally different from the coffee that you tried before in Vietnam.
45
When you try coffee that is made from Arabic car beans in Vietnam,
46
your perspectives about the whole Vietnamese coffee will change
47
and I also make a series about Vietnamese coffee so make sure you follow my channel to not miss any videos
48
So I'll have an appointment with Richie Fawcett who is a British artist based in Ho Chi Minh City,
49
known for his highly detailed hand-drawn sketches that capture the everyday life and changing streets of Saigon.
50
But before going to his studio where it's only a few steps away from the coffee shop,
51
I would like to give a shout out to our sponsor today, Surfshark VPN.
52
Your online safety should be the priority while traveling to any country,
53
especially in Vietnam, where the country is safe itself,
54
but the Wi-Fi is not always reliable.
55
For example, when I was doing research to make this video,
56
places to visit in Ho Chi Minh City,
57
I was flooded with unwanted ads,
58
and luckily, Surfshark helps me block unwanted ads, trackers, and malware.
59
And also, when I have to book hotels or flight tickets,
60
Surfshark helps to change the IP address and protect my online activities from third-party snooping around and collecting my data.
61
Also, as a content creator,
62
I love that new feature called Email Scam Tracker,
63
which is a tool integrated into the Chrome browser extension and Gmail,
64
designed to help protect you from phishing attacks and email scams.
65
To know more about Surfshark and receive the exclusive deal,
66
Go to surfshark.com to download the app and apply the code PHO for 4 extra months of Surfshark.
67
You'll thank me later.
68
In 2011, British artist Richie Fawcett came to Vietnam to train bartenders,
69
but he brought more than just mixing skills.
70
With a background in Egyptian archaeology and a love for drawing,
71
he began capturing Ho Chi Minh City using only pencils and paper.
72
Every sketch freezes a quiet moment in time,
73
full of detail and soul.
74
Okay this is my work in studio,
75
so this is what I'm working on right now.
76
I work with a group called Wink Hotels,
77
which I'm making the art for each room.
78
I feel like I can see my house from here.
79
Oh really?
80
As you can see there's art everywhere.
81
But come through, this is my studio.
82
Okay.
83
Normally you have a break between lunch and dinner and everyone goes to sleep in the afternoon,
84
so I thought, what's going on here?
85
So I'm going to go out and meet everyone and draw pictures.
86
And over the time that I was setting up these bars and I was running them,
87
I had time off and during the day I used to go out and draw the pictures on the street.
88
The last five years I created a journey,
89
a peace journey if you like,
90
goes from the tranquility which is what Saigon was,
91
it was very tranquil, very peaceful and then obviously the French invasion, 1859, about that.
92
And then there's a cocktail to represent the invasion which is the ship there,
93
see they come on boats,
94
yeah so that's the boat there.
95
You see that's changed because that used to be an optician
96
so that's gone now and then that's a cafe but that's gone now.
97
So anyway, so yeah, that's what I mean, I can't keep up.
98
So that's why it's never boring.
99
You know, I mean, for me as a sketch artist, it's always evolving.
100
You know, and I'm not like sad that,
101
you know, old buildings have been knocked down, a few of them.
102
But they're slowed down now.
103
It's a lot of new and old, which is the contrast.
104
So that's what it's very interesting,
105
very interesting combination between you know the past and the present
106
and the future i love his storytelling
107
and his hospitality he's such a talented artist
108
and a kind person no wonder why many people share their memories
109
and signatures on his wall and of course i made sure to add some meaningful thoughts too
110
He even gave me a notebook and the Saigon studio tote bag as gifts.
111
How kind.
112
If you have a chance to talk to Richie,
113
you'll learn a lot from him.
114
As a photographer, having a portfolio that was really diverse,
115
that had so many different things like portraits of people,
116
then it was sports, then it was like,
117
you know, underwater, then it was like DJs, all that.
118
I think, oh, well, you've got a really good portfolio.
119
It's very, very, very wide-ranging.
120
But what do you specialize in?
121
You know, so you gotta choose something and then just keep on that track.
122
You know, that's what I think.
123
Good advice.
124
And then people will come to you.
125
And then don't keep moving around,
126
just stay in one place.
127
That's why I've been here for so long.
128
You found me, you know,
129
so I'm easy to find.
130
Everyone knows where I am.
131
Yes.
132
So the answer is be you.
133
Yeah, right.
134
Do what you're good at.
135
Yeah, right, exactly.
136
And then just be persistent.
137
And stay in one place.
138
Yeah, try to.
139
And discipline, you know, keep doing the same thing over
140
and over again again richie's studio is a great place to enjoy art chill
141
and have great conversations make sure you message him before you come
142
so he can welcome you or even make you a drink
143
one local advice that i tell people when they travel to vietnam is to bring an empty luggage
144
because you can shop until you drop.
145
One of the places that you can easily explore Vietnamese local brands is 42 Tôn Thất Thiệp where you can find skirt,
146
shirt, jeans, accessories and even boots with heels for both men and women.
147
Limited space, big ideas.
148
Here, all departments have turned into creative playgrounds where they display local brands such as Chi Bae Chi,
149
Bad Rabbit, The Past and so many many more.
150
There are a lot of Vietnamese brands here for you to choose from and I'm so happy to see international artists,
151
actresses and singers are using Vietnamese local brands.
152
It shows that the Vietnamese quality meets the international standard and the fashion designs are on another level.
153
You can find from cute to sexy,
154
summer to winter, even cool unisex items with different sizes and affordable styles.
155
Don't forget to check out my Vietnamese guidebook in the description for my favorite shopping destinations in Ho Chi Minh City.
156
This apartment is not only known for a shopping paradise but also local food paradise.
157
I love to watch the locals cooking food,
158
office workers eating in a tiny apartment hallway while tourists are busy shopping.
159
You can only find it in Saigon.
160
From here you can see the tamarind tree and I'm wondering
161
if they make tamarind drink here but today I'm gonna show you a place that makes a very very good Milo drink.
162
Let's go!
163
Locals and travelers love coming here for this delicious Milo drink mixed with bobas and Milo Crunchy Balls,
164
topped with flunk cake which is perfect for people who have sweet tooth like me.
165
No fancy plating, no complicated recipe,
166
just childhood flavors, creamy, nostalgic and comforting.
167
You sit by the window,
168
watch the city flow beneath you and suddenly you feel the simplest joy in Saigon.
169
The last destination is located on 14 Tôn Thất Đạc,
170
where you see the city reinventing itself in real time.
171
Here, you'll find cozy coffee shops,
172
vintage corners and creative little spaces hidden in every hallway.
173
The graffiti on the walls reflects the ideas of Saigon's young generation.
174
Old structures, new ideas is where past and future share the same space,
175
creating a feeling of deep nostalgia.
176
Talking about nostalgia and memories,
177
I'm gonna take you to an intimate bar called Memento.
178
Finally, we reached the top floor and I'm pretty tired.
179
So our final spot is gonna be a cocktail bar which is hidden behind the bookshelf.
180
Can you guys find it?
181
It's right here.
182
Let's follow me.
183
Do you guys see it yet?
184
Tada!
185
Welcome!
186
Memento means an object kept as a reminder of a person,
187
place, event or memory.
188
That's why you can see many nostalgic decorations in this bar.
189
What I love the most is the view to the state bank of Vietnam.
190
It is so unique.
191
I just know day drinking is this nice.
192
Here I have their signature tropical junction and it is so good.
193
It's fruity, sour and sweet from fruits.
194
Also they have a special snack which is made from sour soup,
195
passion fruit, mango and a lot of fruits in here.
196
And it's so tasty.
197
Not too sweet, which is good.
198
I'm kind of tipsy right now so I guess I'm gonna go home and take a nap.

Контекст и предыстория
В видео о лучших местах для посещения в Хошимине в 2026 году акцент сделан на том, что для понимания города важно начинать с мест, где живут местные жители, а не с популярных туристических достопримечательностей. Например, ведущий показывает три уникальные квартиры, которые предлагают нечто большее, чем просто красивые виды. Через это видео можно познакомиться с культурой и атмосферой города, а также узнать о популярном местном кофе и искусстве архитектуры.
Топ-5 фраз для повседневного общения
- "Какой у вас любимый кофе?" – Отличный вопрос для начала разговора с местными жителями.
- "Где находится ваш любимый ресторан?" – Позволяет узнать больше о культуре питания в регионе.
- "Какие места вы бы посоветовали посетить?" – Фраза, помогающая найти скрытые жемчужины города.
- "Как долго вы здесь живете?" – Позволяет узнать о жизни местных жителей.
- "Что вам больше всего нравится в этом городе?" – Интересный вопрос, который может вызвать живую дискуссию.
Пошаговое руководство по технике Шадоуинга
Чтобы использовать технику shadowing, следуйте этим простым шагам:
- Сначала внимательно посмотрите видео и поймите контекст диалога. Это поможет вам уловить основные мысли и фоновые эмоции.
- Выберите короткий отрывок (30-60 секунд) для работы. Обратите внимание на произношение и интонацию ведущего.
- Воспроизведите отрывок и одновременно повторяйте за спикером, стараясь имитировать его естественные паузы и интонации. Это поможет вам улучшить произношение английского.
- После нескольких повторений, попробуйте говорить вместе с видео, не обращая на него взгляда. Это усилит вашу шнуру shadow speech.
- Запишите себя, произнося отрывок, и прослушайте. Обратите внимание на отличие вашего произношения от оригинала.
- Практикуйте с разными отрывками, чтобы практика разговорного английского была разнообразной и эффективной.
Используя технику shadow speak, вы не только улучшите ваше произношение, но и достигнете большей уверенности в своих разговорных навыках на английском языке. Не бойтесь экспериментировать с различными стилями и акцентами, и помните, что регулярная практика – ключ к успеху!
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
